A gay man says his boss at an international branding company mocked his sexuality and labeled him “HIV boy.”
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court seeking $3 million in damages, Christopher Perez said his boss at Wolff Olins, Dean Crutchfield, “used sexually charged language in the workplace and was abusive,” and “would frequently say things like, ‘Where is HIV boy?’ ”
A rep for Wolff Olins, which has done logo designs for the city’s taxis and tourism departments, didn’t immediately return a call for comment.
